1 Adobe Premiere Pro CC Workload: The project folder contains 7 4K H.264 MP4 video clips recorded approx. 80Mbps, totalling 1.90GB. The video stream is 3840x2160 (4K) in H.264 format with a framerate of 29.97 FPS. The audio stream is 1536 Kbps, 48.0 KHz, 16 bit Stereo in WAV format. The performance test measures the time to export the entire clip to a 4K H.264 MP4 format. The output is a high quality 4K video file. 2 HandBrake 0.10.2.7286 The workload video file is a ~6.27 GB, 3840 x 1714, 73.4 Mbps, 24fps, H.264, .mov video file that is transcoded to a ~1480 MB, 1920x858, ~17.1 Mbps, 24fps, H.264, .mp4 video file. 3 Blender 2.78b is a popular open-source 3D renderer. This benchmark workload consists of a render of a ~3MB character model of BMW cars. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary.

Extreme Mega-tasking workload: Overwatch (1.11.1.2 – 37270) is played using ‘Ultra’ graphics quality settings at 3840x2140 resolution with Vsync on. OBS Studio 19.0.2 64-bit is used to stream gameplay to Twitch* at 1920x1080 60fps as well as for recording video locally. A project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC (11.1.2 22) using a source video of gameplay (3840x2160, 60fps, 50Mbps, H.264, .mp4, 6 min. 29 sec.) is edited into a 2 min. video with transition effects. Adobe Media Encoder (11.1.2.35) is used to export the video using the “YouTube 2160p 4K” profile. Metric is the time it takes to perform the video encode while playing Overwatch and recording+streaming to Twitch*.
